At Times

Storms, those storms, do appear
At times with thunderous roar
Sweeping through darkened skies
That shake the earth to its core

Dark clouds like mourner's cloaks
Gather, charcoal gray despair
Lightning flashes, dances across
A blackened atmosphere

They've unleashed their fury
Send down torrential rain
Dripped-dropped upon rooftops
Raising up angry Cain

Jennifer Proxenos Date: 1/13/2024 10:24:00 AM typical description of a storm, but what i thought was great about the anger of the storm is that you compared it to 'Raising up angry Cain.' Hope you are keeping well. Blessings and hugs, Jennifer. Login to Reply Sara Kendrick Date: 1/13/2024 12:23:00 PM Why, thank you, Jennifer. Sometimes there is anger inside just like what seems to be going on in a storm. Thanks for the nice review of my work. I am well after a really bad night. I need all the blessings I can get. Sara K

Andrea Dietrich Date: 1/13/2024 8:31:00 AM oh nice. If for the quatrain contest, I think it has a great chance to win Login to Reply Sara Kendrick Date: 1/13/2024 12:21:00 PM Andrea, I really haven't looked at the contest so I did not write it for a contest. LOL..Thanks for letting me know anyway. Sara K

Paula Goldsmith Date: 1/12/2024 1:47:00 PM I enjoyed your wonderful "At Times" write/ending. I have been in many really bad storms. I remember one time my dad opened the car door and water came running out. Stay safe... Have a blessed day writing away...............

I don't think it has been that bad here except in low lying places and flood prone areas. Thanks for the visit and taking time to comment. Sara K

Vijay Pandit Date: 1/12/2024 6:22:00 AM Lovely tone and flow and wonderful imagery, Sara. Just like your photo, your poem paints nature's fury. Login to Reply Sara Kendrick Date: 1/12/2024 6:44:00 AM Why, thank you, Vijay. I appreciate the visit and kind review. Sara K

Ink Empress Date: 1/12/2024 1:12:00 AM I always get really scared when theres thunderstorms. And its been pretty stormy here too. Your quatrain flows so well and is so well written. So descriptive and picturesque. I can see lightning dancing and flashing through your words. Sending you light always. Login to Reply Sara Kendrick Date: 1/12/2024 4:17:00 AM Why, thank you, IE. Sometimes our fear can be made worse when possibly our parents, teachers, or our grandparents have been overly cautious in the face of storms. And if a person ever experiences a really bad one there is reason to be afraid and extremely cautious from then on. Thank you for your visit and nice comments. Sara K

Kim Rodrigues Date: 1/11/2024 3:33:00 PM A great storm…we love them…we fear them! Login to Reply Sara Kendrick Date: 1/12/2024 4:15:00 AM Kim, mixed emotions for sure when they come sometimes some terrible destruction, sometimes injuries, and sometimes death. Thanks for dropping by . Sara K

Regina Elliott Date: 1/11/2024 1:05:00 PM Wondrous storm poem, Sara. It reminds me of the summer storms we have here in North Carolina. Have a splendid evening. ~ Login to Reply Sara Kendrick Date: 1/11/2024 1:26:00 PM Regina, one exception it is winter and it is cold air coming through pulling up warm air from the Gulf which brings the rain then cold air is falling in behind it. The situation can create tornadoes in the winter. Thanks for dropping by and for the nice review of my work. Sara K
